Grilled Salmon Salad

March 10, 2021 by athomewithrebecka Leave a Comment

Heart-Healthy Dinner in Less than Thirty Minutes

Enjoy a heart-healthy meal this summer with this quick and delicious grilled salmon salad.

Homemade lemon garlic dressing accentuates the herbaceous nature of Grilled Salmon Salad and is loaded with vitamins and nutrients derived from raw fennel and jicama. In addition to the “anise-like” flavor of fennel, often described as a less intense licorice taste, the Omega-3 fatty acids found in the organic salmon are nutritious and delicious for your body, mind, and soul.

Heart-Healthy Insight

Fennel

Fresh fennel bulb is a good source of vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin critical for immune health, tissue repair, and collagen synthesis (2Trusted Source). Vitamin C also acts as a potent antioxidant in your body, protecting against cellular damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals (3Trusted Source). Both the bulb and seeds contain the mineral manganese, which is important for enzyme activation, metabolism, cellular protection, bone development, blood sugar regulation, and wound healing (4Trusted Source). Aside from manganese, fennel and its seeds contain other minerals vital to bone health, including potassium, magnesium, and calcium (5Trusted Source).

Jicama

Jicama contains many important vitamins and minerals, as well as a significant amount of fiber. In fact, one cup (130 grams) contains the following nutrients: Calories: 49 Carbs: 12 grams Protein: 1 gram Fat: 0.1 gram Fiber: 6.4 grams Vitamin C: 44% of the RDI Folate: 4% of the RDI Iron: 4% of the RDI Magnesium: 4% of the RDI Potassium: 6% of the RDI Manganese: 4% of the RDI

Salmon

Salmon is one of the best sources of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) portion of farmed salmon has 2.3 grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, while the same portion of wild salmon contains 2.6 grams (1, 2). Unlike most other fats, omega-3 fats are considered “essential,” meaning you must get them from your diet since your body can’t create them. Salmon is rich in high-quality protein.
